Not long after Chen Zhen left, Xun You, who was out for the rank of the people outside, came back. He heard that Chen Zhen was unwilling to be the prefect of Guangping again and had been sent out of the country by Han Zhanli. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity that such a good talent was let go in vain!"

"There's no way," Han Zhan shrugged and said helplessly: "Mr. Chen is unwilling to serve me. Even if he is forcibly kept, it will be useless. Let him go."

Although Han Zhan already had a title, when it comes to official positions, he was just a small county magistrate who was involved in the country. Before obtaining the permission of the court, he was not qualified to appoint a county magistrate, let alone a prefect of his level. But Guo Jia ignored these things and asked for it naturally: "Little Marquis, I don't know who you plan to appoint as the prefect of Guangping." When he said this, he gave a meaningful glance to Xun You who was standing next to him.

Han Zhan was also very troubled when he heard about Guo Jia's problem. Although there were many talents in the Three Kingdoms era, most of the strategists who were familiar with later generations were still children. For example, Sima Yi was just 12 years old, while Zhuge Liang was only 10 years old. And the civil servants and strategists who were slightly more famous either had a lord who had followed him or looked down on him as a younger generation at all, and there was no possibility of recruiting him.

Han Zhan thought of Guo Jia's eyes and thought to himself: Feng Xiao wouldn't be hinting to me, let Xun You be the prefect of Guangping? Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to Xun You and asked tentatively: "Cousin Gongda, I plan to appoint you as the prefect of Guangping, do you have no objection?"

"Thank you for your kindness!" When Mr. Han Zhan planned to appoint him as the prefect of Guangping, Xun You hurriedly saluted: "But You have no experience in governing a county, and it is difficult to be competent to serve as such a high-ranking official. I hope the Marquis will still choose another talent to take on this important task!"

Han Zhan originally thought Xun You would agree to be the prefect of Guangping, but he didn't expect the other party to refuse so simply, and he couldn't help but show an embarrassing expression on his face: "Cousin Gongda, if you insist on not being the prefect of Guangping, can you recommend a talent for this marquis?"

Xun You smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "You have visited the city, and there are no talent here. If the marquis cannot find a suitable candidate, how about appointing the former county magistrate as the prefect?"

Han Zhan knew that the county magistrate was an old subordinate who was loyal to the Han family, but when he first entered the prefect's mansion, he had a few words to talk to him, and felt that this person was mediocre and was not a suitable candidate for the prefect.

In a dilemma, Luo Bu, who was working outside the mansion, suddenly hurried into the lobby and bowed to Han Zhan: "Qi Zhu, Mr. Chen is back and waiting for him to see him outside the mansion!"

When Han Zhan heard that Chen Zhen was back, he was overjoyed and quickly ordered Rob: "Come in by Mr. Chen!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly added, "I'll go out to greet him in person."

Han Zhan took Guo Jia and Xun You out of the prefect's mansion, and immediately saw Chen Zhen standing next to the war horse he sent, talking to a middle-aged man in a commoner. Han Zhan thought to himself: Chen Zhen is going back, is he changing his mind and preparing to stay and be the prefect? ​​Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Mr. Chen returns to Guangping, but is there anything important?"

Chen Zhen hurriedly returned the greeting, and then said, "When you return to the Marquis, after Chen left Guangping, he met a fellow villager on the way. He had just come here from his hometown to join Chen. Chen thought that he was a talent and was buried in vain. It was a pity that he wanted to recommend it to the Marquis, hoping to find a background for him."

Hearing that Chen Zhen had no intention of leaving behind, Han Zhan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he still asked enthusiastically on the surface: "Dare you ask Mr. Chen, where are your fellow villagers now?"

Chen Zhen pointed to the middle-aged man standing next to the horse and said, "This is Chen's fellow villager. Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng of Nanyang can dig a bow of two stones, hitting a hundred times; if he uses a big knife, dozens of people cannot get close to him."

After hearing the name Chen Zhen said, Han Zhan almost fell head-on: Who, Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng? This is one of the five tiger generals under Liu Bei. Why did he come here? At this time, shouldn’t he be Liu Biao’s subordinate?

Seeing Han Zhan standing there without saying anything, just staring at Huang Zhongdai blankly, Chen Zhen thought he disliked the other party's age, so he quickly coughed and said a little embarrassedly: "Marty, although Han Sheng is a little older, he is a rare talent. His martial arts group, when he goes to the battlefield, must be a rare general..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Han Zhan rushing over from him, coming straight to Huang Zhong, bowing to the other party, and saying respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Huang, Han is polite!"

Huang Zhong was a little surprised to see Han Zhan rushing over to salute him. He quickly bowed and returned the salute: "Caomin has seen the Marquis!"

"No gifts, no gifts!" Han Zhan quickly held Huang Zhong's arm and said to him with a smile: "I believe what Mr. Chen said, Huang Zhuangshi must be a rare general. There is a military marquis in this marquis' army that is empty. I wonder if Huang Zhuangshi is willing to surrender?"

Seeing that Han Zhan was polite to him, Huang Zhong had a little favor, but he conservatively estimated that the other party would be good at appointing him as a 100-man general in view of Chen Zhen. But at this moment, he could not help but be stunned when he heard that he had directly appointed him as Qu Junhou.

Seeing Huang Zhong standing there, Chen Zhen was afraid that his misconduct would arouse Han Zhan's dissatisfaction, and quickly reminded Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, why are you still standing there? Thank you, Mr. Marquis!"

After Chen Zhen reminded him, Huang Zhong quickly bowed to Han Zhan: "Thank you, Marquis!" He said this, which was equivalent to agreeing to serve Han Zhan.

Han Zhan was overjoyed by the unexpected acquisition of a famous general like Huang Zhong. He was afraid that the night would be long and dreams would be too long, so he quickly turned around and ordered Rob: "Robu, take Hansheng to the military camp to see my elder brother immediately and help him settle everything as soon as possible."

When Robu left with Huang Zhong, there was a horse parked next to the road not far away. There were many things on the saddle. The tightly wrapped objects in cloth should be the big sword and bow and arrow used by Huang Zhong.

Seeing that Han Zhan readily granted Huang Zhong an official position, Chen Zhen finally understood a matter of his concern. He bowed to Han Zhan and said, "Marty, the matter here has been done, Chen said goodbye."

Seeing that Chen Zhen was in a hurry to leave, Han Zhan felt that he should make another last attempt to see if he could leave the other party. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, the position of the prefect of Guangping is empty. Please help me with your help!" After that, he could not bow.

Chen Zhen hesitated for a long time and finally replied: "Thank you for your kindness. Chen is now an idle cloud and Yehe, who has no intention of becoming an official and has the position of prefect. He also asked the marquis to choose another talent."

When Chen Zhen left, the few people returned to the main hall. Guo Jia asked Han Zhan curiously: "Little Marquis, do you just believe in Chen Xiaoqi? He said that Huang Hansheng was a powerful general. You didn't even let him show off his martial arts, so he hurriedly awarded him the position of military marquis. Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

"Don't be hasty, not hasty!" After getting a famous general like Huang Zhong, Han Zhan was in a very good mood at the moment. He smiled and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, you have to believe in my vision. I only need to look at a few glances to distinguish the ability of a person. So far, there has been no mistake."

"Little Marquis, Jia has something else to ask you."

"Please say filial piety."

"I heard that you sometimes call Zhao County Wei the eldest brother. At first I thought you would call people older than you," Guo Jia asked in confusion: "But from the tone you just ordered Luo Qunsu, Zhao County Wei the other brothers with you again?"

"That's right, Fengxiao, you guessed it right." Regarding Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan nodded and said, "Zilong and I are indeed sworn brothers. In front of others, I called him Zhao County Wei or Zilong, and he called me the envoy; but in private, I called him the eldest brother and he called me the second brother."

"When did you become sworn brothers?" Guo Jia asked curiously: "Why don't I know?"

"The story of swornship is long. My father wanted to invite Yuan Shao to Jizhou and send me to give him a seal." Seeing that Guo Jia was very interested in the swornship between him and Zhao Yun, he said proudly: "On the way back, I was assassinated by an assassin. Fortunately, Zilong, who was a general at that time, was saved by a hundred people, and he escaped his life by chance. Seeing that I and Zilong fell in love with me, he also helped me save my life, so he became sworn brothers of a different surname."

"If I remember correctly, my uncle should be in the army too." Xun You interrupted and asked, "Will he say nothing when he saw you becoming sworn brothers with a hundred generals?"

Han Zhan knew that Xun You mentioned that his uncle was Xun Chen who went to meet Yuan Shao with him, and nodded quickly and said, "My cousin guessed that his uncle did express his opinion on our swornship. He thought it was a bit ridiculous for me, a son of a state governor, to be sworn in a hundred generals in the army."

"Absurd, indeed absurd." After hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and said, "If I were there at the time, I would probably say the same thing as your uncle." He paused for a moment, and the expression on his face became serious. "But now it seems that your sworn brother is indeed a talent. It is indeed an important contribution to our advance so smoothly."

"Fengxiao," Han Zhan looked at Guo Jia and asked teasingly, "Or, we will also become sworn brothers of different surnames, right?"

When Guo Jia heard Han Zhan’s suggestion, he was stunned at first, then looked around and said, “Guangping City is not small, and there must be a famous brothel. I have nothing to do and am planning to see if there are any beautiful women in the wine. Xiao Marquis, Jia has lost his companionship!”
